We demonstrate here that the current-driven domain wall (DW) in two dimensions forms a ``facet'' roughness, distinctive to conventional self-affine roughness induced by magnetic field. Despite different universality classes of these roughnesses, both current- and field-driven DW speed follow same creep law only with opposite angular dependences. Such dependences result stable facet angle, from which single image can unambiguously quantify spin-transfer torque efficiency, an essential...
